  2. Dear Bunny, Brad and Michael,
    I am devastated to hear about Bill’s passing!
    I have such good memories of him at NBHS helping us in the math department and his connection and devotion to our kids. It also reminds me of all the wonderful memories I have of your whole family. I will miss Bill, but I miss you, too.
    With my love, Bonnie Leitch

    • Ms. Leitch, you are an awesome lady,as well. I remember you at nbms in the 80’s as well. May God bless your life.

  3. Mr. Hollas had been coming to mind lately & now I’m convinced God wanted me to pray for him…mr. hollas was the vice principal at nbms back in the 80’s. He was hard on me, along with mr. Wilke, but it was the discipline I needed at that time in my life! I am grateful to him & wish the family nothing but great comfort, blessings & love from above & from my heart!! Msy God bless the family richly!!
